    The TSP Black Balsa 3.0 is specially designed for classic defenders. This high-end blade features a balsa core and a slightly larger head for maximum control in all stroke techniques. The tried-and-tested balsa/glass fibre layers additionally provide for an enlarged sweet spot, which guarantees ultimate feel, forgiveness and effectiveness.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly valued for its lightweight design and unique bending characteristics, with evaluations varying based on player type. It becomes very easy to use with practice, but its distinctive feel and control difficulty limit its suitability.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Extremely lightweight, easy to swing through, works with light rubbers
    • Unique flex allows exceptionally high spin generation
    • Slow ball speed and defensive characteristics, stable cutting
    • Distinctive feel requires adaptation, difficult for beginners
    • Low speed performance, drives and smashes are slow
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe tremendous flex enables extraordinary spin, and with practice, the ball arcs high over the opponent's head before dropping and extending after bounce.
    ▽ CriticalThe distinctive feel is unstable, the ball speed is slow, and the extreme lightness makes it difficult for beginners to absorb the opponent's power.

      The incredible flex lets you put on a spin level like nothing else
      Picture rubber glued onto a paper fan
      At first it's tough because the arc comes out way too high, but once you get used to it, the ball drops from higher than your opponent's head and then extends after the bounce
      Most people seem to assume it's going long
      The special material seems to be there just to keep the blade from cracking and doesn't affect the bounce
      Depending on the grain direction of the balsa, the blocking is incredibly stable
      Even against a fast attack while chopping, you can not only handle it with a block but actually win the point

      The feel is on the difficult side and it's hard to control. The spin feels like it's put on at the surface, and if you sink the ball in, the speed is so-so. It made a hitting sound I'd never heard before.

      My kid, who's in elementary school, uses this.

      He always used to say his blade was heavy, but ever since switching to this one, he's stopped complaining.

      It bounces well for how light it is, so I'd recommend it for kids.
